(libraryjournal.com): There seems to be general agreement that university presses need to embrace the opportunities digital technologies offer to create richer content with a wider, more global reach rather than simply digitize print-ready texts and sell them through current channels. This will require a lot of experimentation and new skills, but presses don't have the resources to go it alone; they need to pool their resources to invest jointly in the research and development necessary to create new digital platforms and delivery channels. Sharing production and distribution functions could let presses concentrate on the editorial work that is their core function and will continue to be high touch and labor-intensive, regardless of digital innovations.
